Pick Your Climate Action

0-50-100-Roots is a simple frame for the San Francisco's Climate Action goals—to send ZERO waste to the landfill, take 50 percent of our trips by public transit, bike, walk or rideshare, and use 100 percent renewable energy to keep us on track to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions. ROOTS refers to the many activities we are taking to not only reduce emissions but to actually capture them.

The entire city family—government entities, residents, businesses and community organizations—is working together on this.

And we want to know what you’re doing to make our city greener!

Zero Waste: How are you helping San Francisco meet its goal of sending ZERO waste to landfill - Reducing? Reusing? Recycling? Composting?

50% Sustainable Transit: Show us how San Francisco can reach its goal of 50% sustainable travel or tell us how you are already making it happen. Are you getting out of your cars and walking, biking, taking public transit, or ridesharing?
